I cannot figure out why. Here are two examples: This results from pasting a "copy as plain text". Off[General::spell1]; But so does this. \!\(\* RowBox[{\(ngps\ = \ 1.0;\), " ", RowBox[{"(*", " ", StyleBox[\(n\_t\), FontSlant->"Italic"], " ", "*)"}]}]\) Why all the extra "stuff"? This is the next line in the same notebook. The line is a simple assigment statement. npgs = 1.0; (* nt *) where the t is a subscript. Hmmm. When I remove the comment, it looks more normal: ngps = 1.0; Are subscripts the issue? Or comments? Further experimentation suggests a single subscript changes everything. What gives? -Tony
